Stem Cells Therapy in India

अमेरिकी शोधकर्ताओं ने एक ऐसी विधि विकसित की है, जिससे खतरनाक  कैंसर  सेल्स को महज दो घंटे में खत्म किया जा सकेगा। इसके जरिये बच्चों, सर्जरी नहीं किए जाने योग्‍य या मुश्किल से पहुंच वाले ट्यूमर को निष्क्रिय करने में मदद मिलने की उम्‍मीद है। मीडिया रिपोर्टों के अनुसार, एक प्रायोगिक तरीके के तहत कैंसर की कोशिकाओं को 95 फीसदी तक नष्ट करने में सफलता मिली है, जिससे उन ट्यूमर को भी नष्ट करने में सफलता मिलेगी, जहां तक पहुंचना काफी मुश्किल होता है। इससे खासतौर से कैंसर के शिकार बच्चों के इलाज में मदद मिलेगी। सेन एंटोनियो के टैक्सास विश्वविद्यालय के एसोसिएट प्रोफेसर मैथ्यू डोविन ने इस नए पेंटेट किए गए तरीके को विकसित किया है, जिससे कैंसर कोशिकाओं को प्रभावी ढंग से नष्ट किया जा सकता है। नए तरीके के तहत नाइट्रोबेंडाडेहाइडे नाम के रसायनिक यौगिक को ट्यूमर के अंदर डाला जाता है, जो कोशिकाओं पर अपना असर डालती है। इसके बाद उन कोशिकाओं पर तेज रोशनी डाली जाती है, जिस कारण कोशिकाएं अंदर से काफी अम्लीय बन जाती हैं और वास्तव में अपने आप को नष्ट कर लेती हैं। डोबिन का अनुमान है कि इस तरीके...

Scientists are developing a more effective method for delivering neural stem cells to the brain in an attempt to advance the treatment of neurological disorders using stem cell therapies, according to a recently published scientific paper. The study, which was published in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine, highlights a technique that was created to treat patients with neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, stroke and traumatic brain injury. “Stem cell-based therapy is emerging as a promising treatment for a variety of diseases and injuries,” said Marcel Daadi, director of the Regenerative Medicine and Aging Unit at Texas Biomedical Research Institute’s Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC). “The first step in evaluating the potential of different therapeutic stem cell lines is to develop a safe and effectively reproducible delivery system.” Injection parameters have been studied as applied to drug delivery methods, but these parameters are not dire...

hen Ava Christianson was diagnosed with cancer at the age of four, doctors said she had the best odds. She had the most common type of leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In 90 per cent of cases, a conventional course of chemotherapy does the trick. But her experience was different. By the age of eight, Wisconsin-born Ava had tried all of the standard therapies - from chemo to a bone marrow transplant - and relapsed five times. However, since she was first diagnosed researchers have made astonishing strides in the field of immunotherapy, training patients' bodies to fight their tumors. It is a groundbreaking approach that offers new hope to patients with no options left. This year Ava became the 18th person in history to try the new five-minute operation at the National Institutes of Health's Clinical Center. In August, doctors gave her the all-clear. Having been disappointed time and time again, her parents Bethany and Jay are reluc...

University of Toronto biomedical engineering University Professor Michael Sefton (IBBME, ChemE) has been named this year’s recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS). The award, issued by the organization’s Americas chapter, recognizes his immense contributions to the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Sefton joins an elite list of renowned recipients, including MIT professor of chemical engineering Robert Langer and founding director of the University of Pittsburgh’s McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Alan Russell. Sefton has made significant contributions to research advances in biomaterials, biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine. He was one of the first to combine living cells with polymers, effectively launching the field now now called tissue engineering. Recently, his lab has created biomaterials that actively promote the growth of blood ve...

Exploiting stem cells for their restorative properties is the primary underlying goal of regenerative medicine. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins have identified a protein that plays a vital role in the lives of stem cells, which they believe can bolster the growth of damaged muscle tissue. The results from this new study could potentially contribute to treatments for muscle degeneration caused by old age and diseases such as muscular dystrophy. The findings, published recently in Nature Medicine in an article entitled “Targeting β1-Integrin Signaling Enhances Regeneration in Aged and Dystrophic Muscle in Mice,” showed that the presence of the β1-integrin protein helped promote the transformation of undifferentiated stem cells into muscle after the tissue had degraded and improve regenerated muscle fiber growth as much as 50%. While the presence of β1-integrin in adult stem cells is ostensible, the precise molecular mechanism it employs within these cells has not been examined...

As we age, our knee joints tend to bear the brunt of our weight and physical activity. Likewise, this leads to the development of joint pain, which can then become persistent, and in more advanced cases, develop into arthritis. While there are a variety of causes for knee joint pain and knee arthritis, the most common cause is osteoarthritis. Think of osteoarthritis as the wear and tear of the lining of the joint surfaces. This condition gets worse with age and physical activity. However, some of this wear and tear can occur earlier in life, especially if you have suffered an injury to your knee. Common treatment options for knee pain: There are a few treatment options typically prescribed for those who have osteoarthritis in their knee, or just have general knee pain. These include: Painkillers. Frequently those suffering from knee pain use Tylenol, Ibuprofen and a variety of other drugs that have been around for a long time. While a lot of people use...

A new study involving stem cells at Stanford has given non-ambulatory stroke patients a new lease on life by injecting stem cells directly into a non-ambulatory stroke victim’s brain. As a result, the stroke survivors showed significant improvements. The Stanford neurosurgeon who performed 12 of the 18 stem cell procedures as part of the study, Dr. Gary Steinberg, commented on his own amazement at the success of the study. “This wasn’t just, ‘They couldn’t move their thumb, and now they can.’ Patients who were in wheelchairs are walking now.” However, seeing such incredible progress as a result of the stem cells may be exaggerated – not so much in the success of the sample subjects, but in the sample size itself. Such a small control group of 89 subjects could mean that the results were the product of something like a fluke or a placebo effect. What’s more, the stem cell injections didn’t mean life changing effects on all of the stroke victims. The study at Stanford wasn’t act...

Mumbai: The Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) has, acting on complaints, removed the names of six doctors from its registry for six months to five years for "misusing their degrees or cheating patients". This comes in the wake of a medical officer who lost his registration for five years recently for filing an erroneous post-mortem report which pronounced the murder of a KEM medical graduate as 'natural death'. A Borivli radiologist, who administered stem cell therapy to a mentally challenged boy with hearing loss, has been removed from the registry for five years after the patient's father complained to the council in 2011-12. A Mulund surgeon, who removed a portion of the large intestine of a patient without waiting for a cancer biopsy report, lost his registration for two years. Four pathologists from Greater Mumbai region and Karad have lost their registrations for six months to a year for signing on blank report papers on which technicians...
